Within a decade or so we'll need to run semitrailers and farm tractors on natural gas as oil depletes. Gas will also be needed to make the urea fertiliser for farms because there will be more mouths to feed. That's why it is puzzling that we are in such a screaming hurry to burn gas in power stations and sell it to foreigners. The answer must be to progressively replace coal with nuclear while at the same time conserving a lot of gas for future generations.
On Timor I think Australia has pulled a swiftie but if China controlled the resource it would be gone in a blink
